Thanks to the churches in England who helped us to rent a new house in Banda Aceh for our team. This house is the former headquarters for World Vision and has 6 rooms. It is a much needed blessing to our efforts to help the children in Banda Aceh.

We also started 2 after school care programs, one in Mataie and the other in Paenayong. We are giving tuition assistance to the children in all of the projects. John, also from England, is continuing to work out the details for the purchase of 3 computers for our projects in Medan and Banda Aceh. Thanks John!

More work & more workers

For the next few months, an external team from the Philippines will be working together with our team in Banda Aceh. They will be working with the children in ACRF projects in Punge, Lampulo and Paenayong.

Our work in Banda Aceh will be increasing as our kindergarten and after school program will be starting next year. This is for about 250 children in Camp Mataie.

About ACRF

Jim and Mena are the directors of Asian Children’s Relief Fund. ACRF was founded in October of 2005 as a result of a massive Tsunami that struck off the island of Sumatra Indonesia in December 2004. Since then Asian Children’s Relief Fund has continued to grow and be a blessing to many orphans and children at risk in the natural disaster and economically challenged areas of South East Asia.

We provide these children with caring and loving sponsors who will assist the children according to their needs, providing opportunity to heal, excel and achieve their highest aspirations to become the leaders of their communities in the future.

Through monthly contributions, caring sponsors are able to directly affect the lives of children who cannot help themselves. ACRF is helping children live a better life and have a new hope for the future. Through these efforts we hope to see many lives touched for the kingdom.

Please contact us today to see how God would have you become directly involved in the life of a young boy or girl. Checkout our website at www.tsunamicrf.org or asiancrf.blogspot.com or contact us by email at jimd468@yahoo.com

The Asian Tsunami 2004

On December 26th 2004 a massive Tsunami was triggered by an earthquake deep under the sea to the west of the island of Sumatra Indonesia. With the power of 1,000 Hiroshima sized Atom bombs the Tsunami struck the coast of Sumatra with lethal force. The area of sea-surge was immense stretching a distance of over 200 kilometers north to south and 100 kilometers West to East. This area extends from the city of Meulaboh in the South on the Western coast of Aceh Sumatra through the capital city of Banda Aceh to Lhok Suemewe in the East. With a wave height reported of 30 meters the tsunami struck the coastlines and into the interior up to 5 kilometers in some areas. Houses, schools, buildings were virtually wiped of the earth as the wave pushed inland. Millions were affected and still remember the powers of God and Nature that day, over 250,000 people are estimated to have died in that tragic earthquake and tsunami that struck in Indonesia alone. Of all the most affected area from the Tsunami that stretch from Thailand in the East to Africa in the West, none have been as hard hit as Aceh, Sumatra Indonesia.
